While consistency is a good thing, it comes at a relatively high price in this case. Many blocks could be rendered just fine using only HTML and I'd be a much happier user if I could copy text from the search results.
Indeed. FYI, if you click on any text in the search results, you're given a text field with its text within it. It's a few extra clicks, unfortunately, but at least they considered that.

Did they just add that now? I don't remember seeing the hand cursor over text fields a couple of hours ago.
It was there yesterday
I'm not too sure. I just discovered it a few minutes ago. :)
